A struggling Deportivo Cali side host Primera A leaders Fortaleza in an intriguing battle in the Colombian league.
Deportivo Cali have just two points to show with two draws in their opening games in the Apertura phase. The side drew with Alianza Petrolera in a six-goal thriller as they look to win their first game of the season.
Fortaleza, on the other hand, have won both their opening games in the league as they are seeded at the summit of the table. They defeated a 10-men Patriotas Boyaca in the previous match to make it six points out of six.
